Public Lectures
The Department of Public Policy, in collaboration with the students, organises a number of public lectures and other social and recreational events throughout the academic year. Three annual memorial lectures are held on campus or at other venues, wherein foreign and local keynote speakers are invited to share their experiences and views on specific issues relating to public policy. The lectures are open to the general public and revolve around the following themes:
